Haikyuu is a very good portrayal of volleyball. From the characters, to the world building, to the dialogues, to the execution of the sport, it is presented very well.

Volleyball tactics is not that many but the author made sure that those few informations will be buried onto our memories by making a proper amount of time in explaining how they work.

Animation is excellent. It's clean, it's solid, it's very entertaining.

Characters are all interesting, full of passion and determination, especially the main character. Hinata Shoyo is a very likable. They are not one dimensional so it's entertaining to get to know ... each of them.

It is realistic in a way that there are no superpowers and the world building is aiming to be professional players. I like that. Sports animes should be about striving as a person and as an athlete. Giving inspiration and oozing with passion in doing the sports they love.

Overall, Haikyuu is a very good anime. The reason though why I didn't gave it a 10 is because of one issue: The anime is too friendly and easy going. All the characters, the main ones and the opposing teams are all friends and as a person who plays sports, I can say there was no such thing as "very friendly" in world of sports. There was always greed, envy and jealousy that makes everyone thrive and want to be much better versions of themselves. Im not saying haikyuu should be a delinquent type of anime, I'm just looking for the feeling where I want them to crush and embarrass an arrogant team to pieces, no regrets, no mercy. But all teams on haikyuu are kind and friendly to the main team (karasuno) so ending, instead of feeling proud that they won, I'm having a mixed feelings. So yeah, it's kinda boring on that part. But that's all. Everything else is good.

Inuyasha is an enjoyable long running anime. The story took place between the modern world and feudal era in Japan. The plot and storyline is basic and simple so it's easy to follow, however the story does seem to drag on, so people without patience might drop it but if you have patience for this kind of anime, this could be for you.

Characters are diverse so you don't have to worry about seeing one dimensional characters. They have interesting and unique personalities, from protagonists to antagonists to the side characters. I won't be going on details one on one so just see it for ... yourself. But my favorite character is Kagome, she's the heroine in the story, she's very funny, brave, beautiful and kind. She's the very definition of modern girl live in modern world. The story seem to be more interesting and fun because of her. I personally think without her, story will be boring asf.

The fights are good, it can give you chills and panic sometimes because the outcome is unpredictable. However, the fights are not that long and it's always Inuyasha and Kagome doing most of the work. But there are still good fights shown for the other characters like their friends, Miroku and Sango, his brother Sesshomaru and the villains. Overall it's a decent events of fighting.

The romance is my favorite part, but also one of the most annoying part. You see,.there are conflict between fans of InuKik (Inuyasha & Kikyo) & Inukag (Inuyasha and Kagome). I am an Inukag fan because for me, Inuyasha and Kagome is really the real couple in the story, their chemistry is strong, they are sweet, they care for each other they are so perfect for each other.

HOWEVER! Dang it! Kikyo and Inuyasha's past romance is getting in the way. Kikyo rise from the dead and wanted Inuyasha by herself, she hates Kagome because Inuyasha seem to like her. Inuyasha on the other hand is an indecisive idiot. He's going back and forth between Kagome and Kikyo like what the heck bro you need to choose! He seem to like Kagome but he also seem to still have feelings for Kikyo it's annoying. Kagome as the kind girl she is, she still helps Kikyo when it's in danger and is willing to separate herself with Inuyasha for the sake of their happiness despite feeling very sad about it.

At the end, Kikyo helped them defeat Naraku (well she didn't really do much) and died again. Inuyasha cried and chose Kagome. The result? It seems like she only chose Kagome because he doesn't have a choice. I hate him for that, Kagome deserve better. Koga and Kagome could've been a perfect couple instead. But Kagome really love Inuyasha so they still ended up together.

Well, that's better than nothing. They won and they got theirselves a child so I like it. The conflict in the romance is almost at the end of the story so it wouldn't bother you much unless you're a hard core fan of a ship that you will be really annoyed like me.

Overall, I recommend this anime. Give it a watch and see for yourself whether you're gonna like it or not.

It's funny and cool that's for sure. Chainsaw man is not as bad as people describes it. Animation is outstanding, the use of CGI is clean and entertaining to watch. You know if you guys just gonna ignore the negative things that was thrown in this anime, you're going to enjoy it.

Denji, the main character is wholesome and relatable. He's not the best mc out there, but he's good. The thing is, people expect him to be so deep, to go berserk and to be... y'know ambitious man. But hey, they're missing the part where Denji was describe; what kind of person he is, ... and what life he wants to have. He's a kind and gentle boy who just wanted to live as a normal teenager, free of debts, have a girlfriend by his side, and with enough food to make him full. But the life is always cruel, Denji died in such a miserable, horrible way despite doing all he can to survive. But Pochita, his chainsaw-devil friend took over his body and he's alive again, but this time as a chainsaw man.

Now this is where all the complaints began. People expect Denji to become a new character or personality but no, Denji is Denji, a human or a devil, Denji will remain Denji. He's still the same boy who want to live a normal and happy life but unfortunately now that he's already a devil, he needs to defend himself too against devil hunters, which starts his journey as a chainsaw man, the story itself. On the positive side, his fusion with Pochita made him heal with all injuries and! he now have people beside him and he's eating enough foods.

Side characters are all interesting too. I'm enjoying watching them and getting to know them. Plot and storyline is not complex, but it's enough to keep you entertained.

-----

Let's begin with my personal issues. I'm gonna be honest, I feel uncomfortable with too much sexual activities happening in this anime. Well I'm not really a fan of ecchi and chainsaw man involves bdsm and horniness so I'll pass on that. I understand that it is made to add fun in the story but it's a down for me.

Overall, Chainsaw man is a breath of fresh air. Well not exactly the calming type, but more like it's new to the eyes and there's nothing wrong in trying new. It's cool, it's hyped, overall it's good. Recommended.

Blue Lock's plot is simple. To produce the greatest striker in the world and to make a football team consist only of best strikers and win the world cup. Against who? Of course it's against other teams that also consist of strikers and was locked up in other facility like blue lock.

It has one straight line to the conclusion, so the outcome is pretty much predictable. In simple words, blue lock is all about strikers. Other positions is not important and nonexistent in the story.

For a non-football fan, they might think that's okay but I'm sure majority of football fans, or even just sports fans ... in general are appalled. You see, strikers are important players, sure. But other positions in the field plays the same importance in the sport. It's bad and it's annoying how this series keep showing/implying that players in other positions is considered weak and irrelevant. Blue lock believes that "strikers" are the only important players in football. It's like saying "spikers" are the only important players in volleyball, and "centers" in basketball. That's so stupid, so tell me, how can I turn blind eye on this? Let's say it's just an anime, but it was tagged as "sports anime" so I'm atleast expecting a decent sports representation but what did we get? An anime that bastardizes football and spreads misinformation, convincing the public that their way of playing is the right way.

So if you are looking for football anime with accurate, realistic, decent and informative representation of football, blue lock is not for you. In this anime, everything is made to be stupid and rushed. You cannot see how they learned their moves, they just popped up with the talent already gifted in them, and already good at it, making them overpowered, best example is Isagi's vision and playmaking. He's already so good at doing them from the very beginning so what's the point of watching? To see him beat other overpowered characters like him?

The characters, you can't even call them athletes. Aside from the fact that they are overpowered, the thing that doesn't really make sense is all of them only want to be strikers. And I mean, each and everyone of them, no one even wants to be on other position, like what? They all have the same personality! And they are all good for nothing brats. Imagine, 300 high school teenagers voluntarily agreed to throw their future away just to produce 1 great player, locked up in a facility with no sunlight, not allowed to have a life outside, no diet plan, no proper rooms, no coaches or anyone to teach them about football... sorry but that's not gonna improve anyone. Agreeing to enter blue lock is like agreeing to be put in an asylum.

Speaking of 1 great player, who do you think it will be? I'm sure you already know the answer because it's pretty much obvious by just watching 3 episodes of it.

Animation is decent. Though sometimes their expressions are too exaggerated to the point where the cringe is unbearable I have to fast forward lmao. And don't get started with the dialogues, it's so cringe I want to rip my ears and eyes out.

And just for the heads-up, if you are easily bothered by vulgar words, curses and death threats, better avoid this anime because there are tons of them. Jeez., just talking about it makes my head hurt.

Music: OP and ED is not good. Trying hard to be edgy but ended up sounding mess. Voice actors are bad too idk maybe it's a personal preference but I hate their voices.

Seriously,.this anime feels like a fan service. Carried by animation and fujoshi bait. Only made to please the eyes but can't give a deep impact that stays in memory and emotions of the viewers. Everything feels like robot, everything is one dimensional. And the most issue I have is, I can't feel the love and passion for football, Blue lock treats it like a past time and some sort of gambling because they're bored and has no future. Such a shame. That's the biggest down for me.

Overall, I don't like it. The author doesn't know football that's why he made it a fantasy instead. I don't recommend it cuz this anime can ruin your perspective about football. But it's still up to you, watch it ot not, I couldn't care less.

Tomodachi Game... People hyping it on every social media saying it's a masterpiece but personally, I find it so boring and lame. This review is from someone who didn't read the manga so it's all about what i think about the anime.

Story (4): Like I said, boring. Watchable, yes, but the story is very generic, very predictable and no thrill. For something that supposed to be thrilling and suspense, it failed big time.

Characters (4): Bland characters. Nothing stands out so far.

Art (4): Decent. I don't really look like the character designs they all look so simple. Visuals are decent at most.

Sound (4): ... The sound is okay i guess.

Enjoyment (4): I didn't enjoyed it but still a decent watch.

Overall (4): Not bad but not good either.
